Whoppie, while Judaism IS a religion, Jews are a defacto race.
Why?
Because if your parents were Jews, so are you to a depressing number of assholes.
In the context you're trying to draw that because being Jewish is religion, it cannot be a race and dismissing what the National Socialists say because Nazi...
It becomes racial when someone hunts you down, tosses you into a concentration camp and systematically murders you because your grandma was Jewish.
But it's not just that. This is the important part. Grandma being Jewish was all that mattered about getting tossed in the camp. You not practicing the religion at all did not matter one little bit.
Not even if you had openly and often condemned her for being a Jew!
There was no getting away from being a blood relative and so off to the ovens you go!
That, Ms Goldberg, is why the Shoah is racist and about race.
The same death camps give us a confirmation too.
Jehova's Witnesses could walk out any time they wanted if they just renounced their religion and recanted their Faith.
That none did was remarkable, but no Jew or distant relative of a Jew was given the choice.
